Neonatal Admission in Assuit University Children Hospital
An observational study of Neonatal Disease, run by Assiut University.
Trial summary
There are many causes of admission of neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.So knowing such causes and their outcomes will give us knowledge about different risk factors of each disease and the prognosis of each cause. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Causes and Outcomes of Neonatal Admission in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Assuit University Children Hospital(AUCH)
There are many causes of admission of neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.So knowing such causes and their outcomes will give us knowledge about different risk factors of each disease and the prognosis of each cause.
Read the detailed description
The rapid decline in neonatal mortality during the past 4 decades has been attributed to improvements in neonatal intensive care. This decline was attributable to improved condition of the infants on NICU(Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) admission (improved birth weight, higher Apgar scores, and better physiologic ability).
There are multiple risk factors related to admission of newborns at NICU as low birth weight , neonatal sepsis , hypothermia , hypoglycemia , respiratory distress and other factors. These risk factors are also considered as causes of death beside prematurity and congenital malformations.
One of the most important risk factors for admission and is considered as a major cause of death is premature infants. Neonatal intensive care has become a cornerstone for treatment of premature infants worldwide.
Another group is low birth weight (LBW) infants. LBW babies face increased risk of a myriad of physical and developmental problems. Before the era of neonatal intensive care units, few VLBW infants survived. Today, babies who weigh as little as a pound and developed in the uterus for as early as 26 weeks have been known to survive. LBW babies need high cost of intensive neonatal care and adequate nursing coverage.
Neonatal respiratory morbidity in term infants is another cause of admission and death in neonates and is multifactorial in aetiology.
Neonatal sepsis as well is one of the most common reasons for admission to neonatal units in developing countries. It is also a major cause of mortality in both developed and developing countries.
Hypoglycaemia also plays an important role as it accounts for approximately one-tenth of term admissions to neonatal units can cause long-term neurodevelopmental impairment and is associated with the significant burden to the affected infants, families and the health system.
Knowing the disease patterns and causes in the neonatology unit and the disease-wise outcome can inform the required efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality. Thus, in this study we will assess the causes and risk factors for neonatal admission at NICU of Assuit University Children Hospital (AUCH) and the outcome of them.

Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Mohamed Naguib Khairy, M.B.B.Ch (+201091921973, mohamed_ibrahim@med.au.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Detection of cause of admission of neonate in Neonatology Unit and the outcome of this cause (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04279301, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
